We performed a comparison between Aruba Switches and Juniper Ethernet Switches based on our users’ reviews in four categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Aruba Switches comes out on top in this comparison. It is easy to deploy and, according to reviews, it is a more powerful and robust solution than Juniper Ethernet Switches.
"The cloud configuration is the most valuable feature of this solution. Watching in the cloud, propagating the actual devices themselves and the management of devices that are remote."
"The most valuable features of Aruba Switches are the use of use and user-friendliness."
"Aruba is very easy to use, the GUI is very good and the command line is quite similar to Cisco, so it is very easy to configure."
"Management-wise, this is a good solution."
"This solution is really easy to use. It is much easier to use than Cisco. It's got a nice web interface for stepping up and an added warranty."
"The initial installation of Aruba Switches is easy."
"The Aruba care support and the lifetime warranty are very valuable aspects."
"The most valuable features are the access point, fire control for clients, majority control, platform control in SSIGF, WiFi networking, and area monitoring."
"The solution is stable and scalable."
"One of the nicest things about Juniper switches is they work well with other vendor products. When you have to go into a situation where other vendor switches are present, you can make it work."
"The combination of hardware and software makes it a very good solution. It is a modern protocol that they have supported in the switches. The solution has good performance."
"It has features that allow us to go back to previous configurations."
"Both Juniper and Cisco switches are interoperable."
"We have found the product to be scalable."
"It is very valuable for SRX devices and we have found it very easy to configure."
"One of the most valuable features of Juniper Ethernet Switches is they are rugged."
"I would like to see something like a Cisco Prime, an application controlling the entire system, switches, and access points."
"I would like to see a lower price on the device."
"I would like to see the data center area improving by some added features in the future."
"It's an expensive product."
"The firmware in this solution has a lot of bugs that become noticeable when you have complex implementations."
"Aruba is still losing out to Cisco, which continues to dominate the space. Aruba needs to continue to improve its product range in order to compete with Cisco's dominance."
"Aruba does not have local support in our region of Kerala."
"There are some growing pains with Aruba Central. When you first launch the wireless access points or switches, a lot of updates are needed to get Aruba Central ready, especially on the access points, so the initial deployment time could improve. I would hope that I could just turn it on and leave the updates until later on. The switches themselves probably did okay. I'm primarily referring to the wireless access points. There was a lot of back and forth before everything was in sync. It took hours."
"Juniper should improve the support services provided to users, as it is one of its areas with certain shortcomings."
"Juniper Ethernet Switches' tech support is hard to reach and slow."
"We are undergoing a migration to software-defined networking. Different vendors have to integrate with each other and we are not seeing this type of capability within Juniper. We are getting left behind in this technology trend by staying with this solution. Juniper is also losing a bit of market share because of this."
"There are multiple areas of improvement in Juniper EX series switches. In terms of speed and pricing, while Juniper provides good quality services, some clients still find the price very high compared to other competitors. Also there is a need for certain features to be enhanced like clear our configuration process which will help to make Juniper switches more stronger. However, there are also multiple challenges including understanding and configuration of certain aspects difficult without assistance. Despite these kinds of challenges, there have been multiple solutions and huge potential of improvement in Juniper."
"Some areas of technical support could be better."
"Juniper EX Series Ethernet Switches lack to offer the latest management tools."
"Juniper EX Series Ethernet Switches is not cheap. The tool needs improvement in UI."
"Stability could be better, especially during a reboot. We have had some issues recently with the software getting corrupt on reboot, which causes a lot of downtime."
